Another article about Dr. Dinesh Garg: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Parkinson's "cure" in India Dr. Dinesh Garg achieved reknown in the United States by founding a private cord blood bank, LifeCord USA, which turned out to be a mailing address with no lab. (No relation to other banks named "Lifecord" in Gainesville, FL, Graz, Austria, and Korea.) After that scam was exposed, he fled the country for India, where the Times of India reported that Dr. Garg has "cured" Parkinson's patients with cord blood transplants. The report claims that brain cells "derived by modification of discarded umbilical cord blood stem cells" were infused into the cerebrospinal fluid while cooling the brain and spinal cord. The Indian news reports have been repeated uncritically by the American media. ====================================== Best, Bob Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P. C.
